Methodology & sources
Methodology - Myanmar (2025/26)
Educational model - not an IRD assessment, not a tax return, not tax advice. Currency MMK (Myanmar kyat).
Employee (income tax + SSB)
- PIT progressive (annual): 0% up to MMK 2,000,000; 5% to 10,000,000; 10% to 30,000,000; 15% to 50,000,000; 20% to 70,000,000; 25% above. The 2025/2026 Union Tax Law leaves the rates unchanged.
- Basic personal relief: 20% of gross income, capped at MMK 10,000,000/year. The employee SSB contribution is deductible before PIT.
- SSB (Social Security Board): employee 2% of salary, with insurable salary capped at MMK 300,000/month (so at most MMK 6,000/month); employer 3%.
- The model computes the single-person case; spouse (1,000,000), child (500,000 each), dependent-parent (1,000,000 each) and life-insurance reliefs are out of scope.

Self-employed (sole proprietor)
- Self-employed business income is taxed on the same PIT bands on annual net profit; the 20% salary relief does not apply (actual business expenses are deducted instead).
